The Valentine's Day Commentfic Shipping Meme

[attackfish]

In honor of February 14, the first fourteen people who leave a prompt here with a ship from any of my three fandoms (pairing, threesome, moresome) and a one word prompt, I will write a 140 word story for that pairing and prompt.

A few ground rules related to my personal squicks:

No incest
No ships where one party is much older or younger than the other(s)
No ships that include both Ty Lee and Azula

Meme Closed and Finished.

White Collar, Peter/Elizabeth, cake

12. Peter/Elizabeth - Cake

[attackfish]

You almost got a terrible Portal joke, but with great effort, I restrained myself.

~*~

There were times, few and far between, where Peter could be romantic. Oh, he was always loving, always there for her, but romance was usually just a little beyond him. Except when it involved being a sneaky bastard.

She called the bakery, and they told her she couldn't cancel the order, because he had already picked it up. He had picked it up yesterday, and she couldn't find it anywhere in the house. It was the same every year, and it was very sweet, he would buy them a little cake for two for their anniversary, of the same kind they had at the wedding, and she never could find ahead of time. But three years in, she hadn't had the heart to tell him she hated yellow cake.

She supposed he was hiding it at the office, that bastard.

Kori/Ty Lee: outlier

(If Kori isn't doable, just let me know. I can come up with another pairing.)

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

Kori is not... I should have said nobody introduced in "The Promise"... I don't get my copy until next week.

Lily/James, spirits (any interpretation of the word)

2. Lily/James - Spirits

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

"Come on, Sirius," she crooned. "Let's get you tucked in, and you can sleep it off."

"I'm not that drunk, Lily," he tried to tell her, slurring the L's.

"Mm-hm," she replied. Sirius let her push him onto the couch and tuck a blanket around him, still in his wedding clothes.

"Should we help get him undressed?" James asked, reluctant.

Lily looped a finger through his tie and tugged him towards the door. "You are the only man I'm supposed to be undressing tonight."

He followed. "Be good practice for when we have kids."

She closed the door behind them. "Don't you know there's a war on, Mr. Potter?"

"Are you sure?"

"Pretty sure."

"Well I'm pretty sure we're supposed to forget about it tonight." He pulled her into his arms. "In fact, I'm pretty sure it's our solemn duty."

Jet/Zuko/Mai, tanning.

3. Jet/Zuko/Mai - Tanning

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

"Stop flinching," he ordered. "Seriously, I thought you guys were supposed to be the people of the sun."

Mai crossed her arms and turned her face into Zuko's chest. "This is why people invented the indoors."

"You're on the roof," Jet laughed. "Nobody can see you. Now get out of that robe, pasty, and get some color into that skin." He grabbed her robe.

"I have no interest in turning into a lobster-clam!" She wriggled away from him and darted to her feet.

Zuko rolled away before Jet could step on him. Jet looked down. "Hey, what's this?" he demanded, picking up a scroll that had been hidden under Zuko until he moved. "This is work, isn't it? Do you just have no idea what relaxing is supposed to mean?"

"Give it back."

"This is going in the turtle-duck pond."

Teo/Ty Lee, feather.

4, Teo/Ty Lee - Feather

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

This has airbender Ty Lee

~*~

Ty Lee held the bar of that glider. "So I was thinking, you want me to teach you how to walk on your hands?"

"Are you trying to get out of jumping off a cliff, Ty Lee?" Teo asked, wagging his finger.

"Now why would I want to do that?" She cocked her head at him.

He shook his head. "Everybody tries to get me out of the chair, like it's keeping me prisoner."

"I'm not trying to drag you out of your chair," she said, shrugging. "I just want to teach you a circus trick. I keep trying to get everybody to try it."

"Maybe if you actually jump off that cliff and glide all the way around the temple without using your bending."

She smiled. "You going to follow me, to make sure I go all the way?"

[gamiel.livejournal.com]

Lucius/Narcissa, surprise

5. Lucius/Narcissa - Surprise

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

The silk papering the wall was pealing and shredded under her fingers. "I've heard he isn't even a pureblood."

Lucius sat rigid in his chair. "Do you you have any idea what he would do to us if he heard you saying something like that?"

"Lucius," she murmured. "He's doing it to us slowly already."

He didn't say anything, staring at the wall beside her.

"We followed him because he was supposed to restore us to our rightful place as the natural aristocracy-"

"It isn't about our place anymore," he snapped. "It's about survival."

Her feet hissed against the floor as she crossed the room to take his hand. Her thumb rubbed the thin web of skin over the bones and veins she knew as well as the back of her own hand. "As long as we both know that."

[clockwerkchaos.livejournal.com]

Azula/Aang Didn't see that one coming.

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

one word prompts, sorry.

(not that you're disqualified, I just need a new prompt)

[fanficforensics.livejournal.com]

Suki/Zuko, unagi

7. Suki/Zuko - Unagi

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

You have no idea how close Zuko came to getting sacrificed to the Unagi.

~*~

She dangled her toes in the water, the Ember Island sand still warm from the day beneath her. When Zuko surfaced, she waved to him. "You know, I've never actually swum in the ocean before?" she called.

He swam close to the shore. "How is that even possible?" It occurred to him after he spoke that there were probably thousands, millions of people all across the Earth Kingdom and the poles who had never swum in the ocean, an absence in their lives he'd never considered before. "You're from an island." Like him.

"The water's cold back home. And you know..." She stared out over the ocean. "There's the Unagi."

"Well, there's uh, no Unagi here," he said, smiling clumsily. "You going to try it?"

"Just give me a minute." She looked up to the moon. "I'll be right in."

Sokka/Zuko - dance

8. Sokka/Zuko - Dance

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

"You danced with Aang," Sokka wheedled.

Zuko hunched his shoulders. "That was a sacred firebending form."

"Called a dance."

"Called 'not happening!'" Zuko yelled. "Especially not where anybody can see!"

"Oh, so that's what this is about!" Sokka backed away and scowled at Zuko. "You're ashamed of me. You don't want everybody to see you with a Water Tribe peasant! Is that it?"

"What? No! That's not what this is about at all!" And the most galling thing was, Sokka knew that perfectly well.

"Prove it." Sokka came in for the killing blow. "Come with me, and dance with me in front of everybody."

Zuko hung his head. "Yeah, okay."

Sokka clapped his hands together and hugged him. "I knew you'd see things my way."

"I hate you," Zuko mumbled, voice muffled against Sokka's arm.

"Aww, I love you too."

[weirdlet.livejournal.com]

yay!

Sokka/Jet- tribe.

9. Sokka/Jet - Tribe

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

The first thing Sokka noticed was that Jet's mouth was empty. The second thing was that Jet's face was scrubbed pink. "What are you doing here?"

Jet gave him toothy grin. "I"m here to fight, Sokka, why else would I be here?"

"We picked him up near Ba Sing Se," Hakoda told him apologetically. "He said he knew you."

"Yeah," Sokka drew the word out. "We know him."

"So I hear the invasion plan is your idea," Jet drawled. "Huh."

"Yeah, what about it?"

"Oh nothing." Jet pulled a piece of straw out of his pocket and popped it in his mouth. "Just thinking it's a good thing somebody with real leadership abilities showed up."

Sokka glared. "There's no way you mean you."

"What's that supposed to mean?" As Jet spoke, Bato absently yanked the twig out of his mouth.

[sheenianni.livejournal.com]

Mozzie/Sally, Unexpected.
(I hope that's not too weird?)

10. Mozzie/Sally - Unexpected

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

Not too weird at all.

~*~

"Hey Moz."

He jumped back and sidled towards the door before she stepped out of the shadows. "Oh, Hi," he said nervously, recovering himself. "Uh, Good to see you again! What are you doing here?"

She glanced around his safehouse, the metal walls hung with gauzy curtains, the floor covered in embroidered cushions. "I hear you live here... On alternate Mondays, anyway."

Switching on the lamp, he folded himself down onto the cushions and waved at her to do the same. "How did you find me?" he asked with an open mouthed smile.

"Trade secret," she told him, wrapping her arms around his shoulders. "I wanted to see you."

"Aww, Sally." He swung around as she curled into him, the time slipping away as they settled together. But there was still one thing. "No seriously, how did you find me?"

[avocado-love.livejournal.com]

Okay I found some time. :D I love that heart!

Toph/Zuko -- Understanding

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I stole it from here: http://fsymbols.com/text-art/heart/

~*~

"Hey Zuko."

He looked up at her. "So how come I'm the only person you don't have some kind of stupid nickname for?"

"Oh yeah? There are people all over the world I haven't nicknamed."

"If you haven't met them, it doesn't count. I'm the only person in the group without one."

"Suki doesn't have a nickname."

"Come on, I heard you call her Eggface, Fans, Funnyface, Smoochies..."

Toph sat down next to him. "Well, I haven't settled on one yet."

"I didn't get one at all."

She punched him in the arm, hard, for that. "How come I'm the only person in the group who didn't get to go with you on one of your little field trips?"

"That really bothers you?"

"Not having a nickname bother you?"

"Guess not."

She patted his arm where she had punched it.

Zuko/Yue - propriety

13. Zuko/Yue - Propriety

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

This story has past Mai/Zuko. I hope you don't mind.

~*~

The old Firelord, they said, lived less and less in the world since his wife had died. More and more, the Firelord's throne sat empty, and they had to look to his daughter seated at the throne's right hand. Oh, it was a shame, they said, that Mai had gone, oh it was a shame, but the princess was wise.

The ones who disagreed with her, as ever, forgot how much they had disagreed with her father, and searched for a beautiful woman to bring their Firelord back. Oh, it was a shame he believed he could only love once.

And the moon shown through his window. Zuko closed the door on the world, and the gray fell away from his hair, and he stood in the moonlight, neither old nor young, in love with Mai, in love with Yue.

[rabidchild67.livejournal.com]

Hurray!

OK: Neal/Peter: Sleepy

14. Neal/Peter - Sleepy

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

"Peter, I'd, really like to use my arm."

Peter mumbled, but didn't move, and didn't open his eyes.

Neal tried again. "I'm going to move my arm, and your head is going to hit the table."

Peter mumbled again, and huffed in his sleep. It was an empty threat, and they both knew it.

"I've been thinking about cutting my anklet and running," Neal said conversationally. "Europe is really lovely this time of year, last time I was in Copenhagen, I really didn't get a chance to see the sights..." But Peter still didn't react. Neal stroked Peter's hair, sighing. "You know, this game is a lot more fun when you really are asleep enough to think I'd warn you before I ran."

Peter jerked off Neal's shoulder, eyes popping open. "Don't even think about running off without-"

Neal grinned.
